What I wore:
Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (on sale!)Dress: Atmos&Here Polly navy polka dot shirt dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)
Why I wore it:
The style challenge for the day was 'crazy sexy', and much like the 'vamp vixen' challenge, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to come up with an outfit. I'd thought I might wear this dress again, as I've been wanting to wear it to meet my goal of wearing things twice in a month after I buy them, but it hadn't really fitted easily into any challenge prompts. I figured dresses are sexy...so wore this! Bundled up with the scarf and boots to keep cosy as I popped out to the chemist. Baby T and I were feeling a little under the weather, the cold we'd been getting over came back with a vengeance so we needed to pick something up for us both.It's the second time I've worn this dress, so my purchase review:
I really like this dress! I'm so pleased I bought it. I saw it online at full price and added it to my wishlist, and saw it popping up on instagram worn by a couple of people and just waited until there was a sale to justify buying it. Luckily The Iconic frequently has sales (there's one on right now...) so I was only waiting a few weeks. It's going to be so easy to layer up with in winter and as I can wear it with the sleeves rolled up like I have here I can see it being worn in spring as well, even if it isn't the most breathable fabric for summer. Really happy with this purchase!
Last worn: Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf, polka dot shirt dress, Asos leather boots, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30.
Other ways to wear: blue galaxy print scarf with red dress, shirt dress with Converse, leather boots and skinny jeans in winter, LV speedy bag with denim shorts.
What I wore:
Cardigan: Jeanswest brown marle waterfall cardi
Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace layered with Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Dress: Three Dots stripe maxi dress
Shoes: Asos 'five star' leather sandals
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)
Why I wore it:
Unbelievably, this is the first time I've worn this cardigan on the blog. It's actually one of my favourites! It's been worn a lot in the office and for keeping cosy at home, but I don't wear it out often so it's never been in an outfit picture before. As I mentioned before, I'm making more of an effort to wear my cardigans lately, inspired by some other bloggers. They have the benefit of being just cosy enough for the mild Queensland autumn weather, and easy for life with baby. I can babywear in them as they don't have jaggy zips, and I don't have to worry about them getting dirty or covered in baby's food, I can just throw them in the wash.The style dare for the day was 'elegant'. I was working from home and doing the day care pick up so I wanted to be more comfortable than elegant! I decided to wear all these things because they sound elegant. A floor-length gown, pearl necklace and Louis Vuitton accessories...AKA a maxi dress, boho necklace and a LV speedy bag topped off with a cosy cardi. I much prefer comfortable elegance over black tie elegance any day!
Last worn: striped maxi dress, leather sandals, LV speedy bandouliere (above). First time I've shown the cardigan on the blog.
Other ways to wear: striped maxi dress with a second trimester baby bump, sandals and denim shorts for summer, LV speedy bandouliere with black skirts.
